Server tool list (6)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

search_personSearch the Human Lineage genealogical graph for a person by name. Returns matches with their profile URL.
get_personGet full details for a person by their Human Lineage ID, including a link to their profile.
get_relativesGet the immediate family (parents, children, spouses) of a person as TEXT, with profile URLs. Use get_family_image instead if the user wants to see a picture/visual/graphic of the family tree.
get_family_imageReturns a markdown image (![...](url)) of a visual family-tree card showing a person's parents, spouse and children. Use this — not get_relatives — whenever the user asks to see, show, view, or display a family tree, family diagram, or picture of the family. IMPORTANT: include the returned markdown image line verbatim in your reply so it renders for the user.
search_placeSearch the Human Lineage genealogical graph for a place by name. Returns matches with their place URL.
get_placeGet details for a place by its Human Lineage ID, including its hierarchy and recorded person count.
